My [NYT] Times My Way

By Mark Evans | Published: August 31, 2006
Among North American newspapers, the New York Times has been on the leading-edge when it comes to the Web. I was invited to try the new My Times service (it's in beta), which lets you personalize a news “portal” with NYT content, external news sources and blogs. My initial impression is it's ”good, quite good” because it combines the NYT's [...]

AOL's Shutting Down TotalTalk

By Mark Evans | Published: August 31, 2006

Wireless Camping Recap

By Mark Evans | Published: August 31, 2006
Now that I've recovered from my recent camping “experience” at Sandbanks Provincial Park, here's wireless re-cap. For access, I used Bell Canada's Passport service (based on a Kyocera card), which was pretty good - certainly not blazing fast but it offered decent connectivity over Bell's 1xEV-DO network.

Better Newspaper Web Sites

By Mark Evans | Published: August 30, 2006
As an “ink-stained [newspaper] wretch” and Internet disciple, I'm fascinated by the struggles many newspapers are having embracing/adopting the Web. There are business issues (subscriptions vs. free content), access challenges (everything available vs. select content), advertising (cannibalize the lucrative classified business vs. let Craigslist eat your lunch) and content creation (blogs? podcasts? videocasts?).

Rant o' the Day: Bluetooth Earpieces

By Mark Evans | Published: August 30, 2006
Here's the deal: I'm a quasi-geek at heart but I'm not a fan of Bluetooth earpieces. Over the past couple of days, I've seen a couple guys walking around with them. While I'm sure they're convenient and work well, they do not look cool at all. In fact, they say “loser” (gosh, that's harsh, isn't [...]
